Italy

CAPTIVATING • GORGEOUS • PASSIONATE

There is a reason why Italy is a top tourist destination. It truly has it all. History, stunning scenery, historic architect, olive trees, colourful villas built into sheer cliffs above the blue sea, Renaissance paintings, medieval towns, and long leisurely lunches with good food and wine.

Rome
Known as the “Eternal City”, Rome has an immense and incredible selection of antiquities, endless galleries of Renaissance and Baroque art, spectacular archeological sites and monuments, churches filled with paintings by Italy’s master artists, sculptured fountains and busy squares, and streets filled with lively Italians sharing a coffee or a meal.

Venice
Perhaps one of the most beautiful cities in the world, getting lost in Venice is pure joy (and inevitable) as there are no roads in the centre, only winding alleys and mazes. Always look up because colourful and architecturally beautiful buildings are everywhere, even along the canals.

Tuscany
Simply gorgeous. Cyprus trees line long vineyard driveways. Rolling green hills seems to go on forever and one can easily spend a full day simply wandering a village, stopping for an al fresco lunch with Chianti wine, browse the food shops, walk in history, and simply slow down.

Florence
If you love art, history, and incredible food and wine, you’ll love Florence. It’s a city for strolling, so slow down and take in the elegant 15th and 16th century palaces, medieval chapels, paintings, and sculptures. It is not a surprise that the city’s centre is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
